Navy Blues

November 18, 2015

DFT Centennial Plaza Choices01 It’s always a treat to spend time in the Layered by Cake boutique, checking out all of the cute new items Shannon has brought in. I was immediately drawn to this scarf as soon as my eyes locked on it. The shades of blue and brown instantly brought to mind several outfit pairings… Over a gray or cream-colored dress, with an ivory sweater and cognac knee-high boots, etc.
Navy is definitely one of my favorite hues for fall. It’s chic and comforting, but not as stark as black.

One Item, Five Ways ~ Relaxed Chic

October 14, 2015

The last and final look for the One Item, Five Ways series!
I love cozy, yet still polished outfits. This one is ideal for brunch, running out for a seasonally-themed latte, or my favorite, staying in and cozying up on the couch with loved ones.
It may be cliché to match your shoes to your bag, but I kind of don’t care. I actually think it looks great and pulls together/grounds a look that combines multiple colors. Here, I kept the materials the same, with rich orangey leather.

Floral Midi Skirt and Ruffled Tank

June 24, 2015

It’s only mid-June and this Southern California heat already has me longing for days spent poolside, with a nice, icy cocktail in my hand. Until my next vacation (Palm Springs in a few weeks!), where I can make that dream a reality, I will be attempting to bear this sweltering season in vented, flowy skirts and bare tanks. I love this particular skirt because it features virtually every bright, summery color, making it so fun to plan an outfit around. A couple of subtly shiny pieces of jewelry and a vintage handbag and I’m all set 🙂
